they are making money

THEY ARE MAKING MONEY
woe is me
woe is me

thats what you see in the news all the time
we are pulling out of obamacare or affordable care plans
we are losing tons of money

it aint so
apparently
they are mopping up dollars
getting rich is what they are

those big bad wolf insurance companies

it seems the ones that are losing on some of these deals
are doctors and providers
they get paid less for services
granted they are overpriced to start with
which means
big insurance makes more

how you say
first the insurances are breaking even on the obamacare policies
some lose some some make money

Image result for medicaid
then
where is the cash cow
its the medicaid programs
basically
its a single payer government system
administered by private insurances

when you see the word administered
that means they make the money
sometimes with less risk
that
we are all paying for with our taxes

wonder where that money would go if we the taxpayers
who own the medicaid programs
administered them instead

oh thats right thats called national health care

just saying
is all

dear ms b-i got gas

DEAR MS B-I GOT GAS

now ms b
dont worry its not the bad stuff

i got gas this weekend for $1.44
heck yesterday i drove by a station where it said
$1.34
now i put that location into my brains gps
hoping to stop there when i need to fill up my tank later this week

now
when i put that gas thingy into my tank
push that handle to fill up my tank
i sort of well like it
but
i get this sort of uneasy feeling deep down in my stomach
like
this really may not be a good thing for all of us
after all

now here in texas
oil is king
it pays for a lot of things like
education roads schools universities etc

i saw a picture yesterday online
of all these oil wells in texas
now it was a video
there were none of those head things
going up and down up and down
apparently they are all shut down for now
its to expensive to pump these wells at these cheap prices

heck the last time the prices were this low
was a long time ago
your mom and dad may have been kiddos when it was
this low

low is good
but
it may be bad though

lots of people are getting laid off around here
it trickles down to stores gas stations restaurants
even walmart

ok i know they dont have a walmart where you live
youll just have to google it
maybe we will bring you to one of ours next time
you visit
Image result for free photo of cheap gas
so i personally
as i put that cheap gas in my car
wouldnt mind if the price would go back up a little
i think there is a sweet spot
where we can afford that price
they the oil people can make enough money
to make those thingy ma jingy things go back up
and down again
you know the ones that look like a grasshopper
that means people can go back to work
businesses dont get hurt

one thing i do hope happens though
is that they add a gasoline tax that is higher
while the gas prices are lower
to pay for our roads and infrastructure that is all
falling apart

im sorry but death and taxes are inevitable

you have to have taxes to make the government work
not like
kansas and louisiana who seem to be following apart
to me it seems simple
you need new revenue coming in
at the same time you tighten the belt some on the spending
they need to dave ramsey those governments

so
now would be a good time to tax gasoline
when no one will notice

so in summary
ms b
i got gas
cheap
but
i would feel better if i had to pay more

scalia

SCALIA
Image result for scalia
wikipedia

poor guy
hes barely even cold yet and they are having fights
over his replacement

they dont have any respect for their dead do they
republicans or democrats

they need a moratorium at least until they get him
in the ground
and
his final respects are given him
then
start the political debate

they have no shame do they

no autopsy may not be done
excuse me
he was a supreme court justice who died unexpectantly
found with a pillow over his face
im sure obesity tobacco and artery blockage was the cause
of his demise
but still this needs to be handled correctly

now
granted his death does make this political year
whats left of it
more intriguing

does obama have the right to nominate a new one
yes
should he
no says the republicans
yes says the democrats
you didnt expect otherwise
change the politics some
if there was a republican president
yes says the republicans
no says the democrats

i say yes the president has the right to nominate a judge
however
if he even wants a glimmer of a chance that the nominee
gets approved
the nominee must be very middle of the road
like anthony kennedy
who votes 50/50
actually i think all the judges should be 50/50

republicans are risking
getting a moderate judge now
vs
if they win the election and retain the senate
they can appoint another scalia like judge
but if they lose the election and lose the senate
the democratics will appoint an even more liberal judge

moderate now liberal later or conservative maybe later

democrats are risking
getting a moderate judge now
if they win the election they will get a liberal judge appointed
if they lose the election another scalia is appointed

moderate now liberal later or conservative maybe later

seems both side will partially win if they let obama appoint
someone now

thats why this election is now even more important than it was
those judges stay on the court a long long time
they determine which way the laws are interpreted

this election will decide that for years to come
as some of those other judges look pretty old
like they may need replaced soon also
in the next presidents term or second term

if you werent interested in this election now
yes i know its a real circus
isnt it
you should be now

there is a lot at stake here for you and your future generations

so
get involved
be sure and vote

may they let him rip
